did you think of actually just trying what the locals suggested?

it looks pretty much spot-on from what my experience.

Yeah I looked through that site but couldn't find any setup's specifically for the M05... :cry:


Ummm.... THIS gives you springs, shock oil, pistons, ride height, toe-in, etc etc. Specifically for the M05...have I missed anything?....:confused:

BumFacedGoat,
Yes but as I posted I'm questioning it as most setups I've seen (for the M03) are running heavier fluid. As I posted I'm looking for reassurance.

Hey Tony,
Yes I read through that but I'd probably rate SA as med - high grip and hence discarded it. Where as the track at Keilor I've heard would probably best describe the track here.... (low grip, hairpins x 4, sweeper x 1). Would you not change anything from SA to Keilor?


thx.... :cool:

i can give you a setup i ran this morning at keilor if you want, for an m05? i was running the rides and crosses though so not sure how it would go with the TCS specs tyres!!

pm me your email and ill give you a setup sheet.

2-Bad,

I would use the USA TCS winners mini setup from the Tamiya site. I am sure Brandon would not mind. If you need the pdf file then PM me a E-mail address, as I can not post as too large to upload.

Does the M06 pro come with zero degree rear toe hubs? That might be a handling problem out of the box.

monkeyracing 01-22-2011 01:25 PM

M-06 has 1.5 degrees built into mounting plate for lower control arms. Supplied uprights are 2 degree. Total out of the box, 3.5 degree.

Monkeyracing, thanks. Maybe my friend flipped the hubs left/right and thought the car came with zero degree hubs.

i just got a Manta Ray Ball Diff set for my M05. Which cone washers am I supposed to remove for a stiffer diff action?

One of the small ones. Careful how much you tighten cause it can get too stiff. I used to do this but no longer do. If you're not a TCS racer, this works fine if you don't have to use the TCS spec tire. Not so great with the Spec tire.

M05 For Sale if anyone is interested.

Of course I don't mind. If anyone has questions feel free to ask. PM is easier for me. Got the 06 at the Tamiya track on Sat. :eek: Its not where it needs to be yet but I am sure after several more track sessions it should come around. BTW where was that posted its the first I have seen it. I remember doing the interview.

hey guys,im trying tofind a lipo battery to fit the m03. that in legan to tamiya rules, does any one know and can post options, thanks.

Ran the M-06 for the first time tonight. (indoors on sticky carpet) Ran it pretty much box stock, including tires. It's a very forgiving ride, compared to the M-04. It doesn't seem to have the outright speed, though.

I used 0 degree uprights on the rear, only used the built in 1.5 degrees. It worked well. Kit tires and spring setup were good. Overall, I like it, especially when compared to the 05.

I keep forgetting. Is the Manta Ray or TA03 ball diff the one to have? Or is it the M05 one?
